A number of pots that have been glazed with Amazo glazes. See the layering results especially the Fruit Bowl. (See how I made and glazed this on previous videos). A few Mayco and Terracolor glazes as well. The use of wadding (need help and your thoughts re this).
Please put your thoughts in the comments.

Just found your channel and really value your thought process of layering glazes. I go to a guild- type of a place where they have 10 dipping glazes. All pretty standard. I bought Amaco pints and have been having fun with them but nothing like you are doing. You have inspired me!

Hello Lois, I do so much enjoy your videos. I think on the lamp bases, you might sprinkle the sand on the shelf or in a biscuit and this might allow movement. I might also add one mire rim chip as well. I’m just guessing because that process is new to me. Anyhow, good luck on finding a perfect solution❤️

On the lamp bases-I’ve had good luck suspending things that are unglazed on the inside using kiln stilts. You can put something beneath where glaze might drip from the rim. Nothing touches, so it’s easy to clean up.

I hear using sand or similar material liberally applied under and around wadding allows all the clay to shrink evenly without extra resistance in wadded areas.

I know this is an old video and you may have figured out the wadding and triangular forming of your lap shades, but to me it looks like the wadding could have shifted outwards with the heat and slightly pulled the sides out forcing them into a triangle.

@SallyRoperPottery 3 жыл бұрын

I just had a thought. Put a piece of shard under the wad so that it will move as your pot shrinks. Have no idea if this would work but sounds good in theory. You can also look at Jonthepotter, he has a video on firing pots upside down to get glaze on the bottom. Good luck. I loved the rest of your video and subscribed.

@LoisHook 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks. What do you mean shard. Yes I’ve watched Jonthepotter re firing upside down. And since firing these I did buy some legs for the kiln and they would be tall enough for me to put the lamp suspended as the inside was not glazed. Also I added Alumina Hydrate in the China clay to make the wadding. I was just watching Bill Powell and uses Alumina Hydrate in his Christaline Glazing. He uses it to hold on the with the school glue the rings that he uses as his catch trays. I need to learn more about it....buts that’s pottery.

@gemavizcay-barrena7555 3 жыл бұрын

Great results Lois!! And great discussion. Thank you! About the lamps, Wondering if putting 4 instead of 3 will keep the shape better. Also, i think that pushing your pot into the soft wad might anchor it too much and not let it move (both the wad and your pot) as it gets fired....just a thought 🤔 Having said that i love the combination of round/triangular shape for the lamp base! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@LoisHook 3 жыл бұрын

Gema Vizcay-Barrena my brother suggested that the wedding stayed fixed in the place it went into the kiln and as the pot shrinks during firing the rest has to change shape to accommodate the wadding. Maybe a dryer wadding and not one I had just made Interesting .......

the distortion was due to the lamps shrinking. The wads don't move but the wall between them pulls in as it shrinks. Nice work still.

Hey, lady. I haven't made a comment in a while. I'm wondering if you were to put a round stilt underneath the lamps. It would have to have stilt pins all around the stilt. I make mine to fit whatever I'm having trouble with. It should hold it all the way round. By any chance when you made the lamp did they stay round while they were still wet or did you have to reshape them.

Lois, at what point did you do the 15 minute hold. Great glaze combo's and video. Thanks for taking the time.

@LoisHook 6 ай бұрын

This video was at the start of my kiln journey. I now don’t do a hold as I was doing it for the Chrystal growth on the Amaco Ancient Copper. I’m more worried now about the running of glazes that move and the gold I felt made that happen some times too much. I hope that helps.

What glaze firing schedule did you do these on? I had a disaster with my first Potters Choice firing - which was also my first stoneware firing - as it ‘spat’ all over my kiln shelves and the pots were covered in pinholes. I couldn’t find a firing schedule anywhere so went by my kiln recommendation for stoneware which may have been too slow. Absolutely love your work! 😃

Hi It looks like you fired greater than cone 7; maybe cone 8. Your clay might have started to melt; this would cause some of your pieces to warp. Gary

@caldwellthomas5332 3 жыл бұрын

@@LoisHook HI If you are using self-supporting CONES, here is the correct procedure to use. The CONES need to be placed flat on the kiln shelf such that the tip (or tilt)of the CONE remains at 8 degrees; this is how they are manufactured. If you put the CONE in a clay platform, the CONE still needs to be at 8 degrees to get an accurate CONE reading. Also, you need to fire the kiln such that at 100 degrees F below your selected CONE setting you ramp the kiln at 108 F/hour. If you follow these guidelines, then the correct shape of CONE 6 run will look like this: 6 CONE 5: Completely Melted CONE 6: tip of the CONE at 90 degrees (tip of the cone at the base of the stand) CONE 7: tip of the CONE between 10-15 degrees CONE 8: 8 degrees (I have a photo that I can send to you if you like) If you hold the maximum temperature at CONE 6 for an additional 8-10 mins you will increase the CONE from 6 to 7.
